[Verse 1]

The light was leaving, in the west it was blue

The children's laughter sang

And skipping just like the stones they threw

Their voices echoed across the waves

It's getting late


[Chorus]

It was just another night

With a sunset and a moonrise not so far behind

To give us just enough light to lay down underneath the stars

Listen to Papa's translations of the stories across the sky

We drew our own constellations


[Verse 2]

The west winds often last too long

And when they calm down nothing ever feels the same

Sheltered under the Kamani tree

Waiting for the passing rain

Clouds keep moving to uncover the sea

Of stars up above us chasing the day away

To find the stories that we sometimes need

Listen close enough, all else fades

Fades away


[Chorus]

It was just another night

With a sunset and a moonrise not so far behind

To give us just enough light to lay down underneath the stars

Listen to all the translations of the stories across the sky

We drew our own constellations
